Love or not love

Flash backs II

~Natalie’s pov~

I and Henry became inseparable since we made love. He’s so sweet, he works hard, he supports me, makes me feel special . In fact the list is endless, what more would I have asked for in a man. I love him so much.

I graduated after two years and I moved in with him. His mum died a year after the accident and I had to be there for him and support him. I tried getting a good job in order to assist him pay some bills but all to no avail . So I had to work as a cashier in a supermarket but as long as I was with Henry , I couldn’t care more about anything. I just want to keep seeing him happy. But as they say, everything has an advantage and disadvantage. I got pregnant and I knew that we were not ready to have a baby yet. We could hardly take care of ourselves. I want to have a baby with Henry but not now, ‘we’re both not ready for a child right now’.

I told Henry I was pregnant and we both agreed that it’s not yet time to have a baby. So I ab*rted the baby the next week and our relationship went back to how it was before the pregnancy but this time we were very careful to avoid another pregnancy.

Two months after the ab*rtion , Henry got a better job than his last job and we started doing well for ourselves, we got a better but not too expensive apartment with the money we saved together and lived comfortably.we were so happy.

One day Henry came back from his new job looking so pissed, I asked him what the problem was and he said that a female colleague of his was always trying to make him look bad in front of their boss and how she took all the credit for the job assigned to both but she didn’t work on it with him. He also told me that he’s going to take his revenge. I comforted him and we later laughed about it. A month passed and he always talks about this ‘female colleague’ of his. He’s either complaining about her or he’s telling me about something funny she did at work. I started becoming insecure and Jealous because It became too much. I talked to him about it and he stopped mentioning her to me but he started keeping late night and I also talked to him about it. It got to a point that it would make us argue and he would walk out of the house and come back the next day .

I was tired of his behavior towards me and tried talking to him about everything that had happened. But to my greatest surprise , he told me our relationship needed a break. I was so heartbroken ‘after everything we’ve be through together?’. I couldn’t believe Henry could say such a thing to me. So I packed some of my stuffs and left the house and stayed with a close friend .

Two weeks had past since our argument and Henry didn’t even care to give me a call. I was so hurt but i decided To go and talk things through with him , apologize and maybe I blew things out of proportion.

I took my bathe, wore the lingerie he loved and but on a kneel let jacket. ‘Maybe something might go down’ only the thought of it made me blush, I put on my red lip stitch, brushed my curly hair and headed to the house.

When I got to our apartment door, I wanted to knock but there’s no need for that because it’s our house and I have a spare key. So I brought out the spare key from my bag and opened the apartment door only for my eyes to meet a woman wearing Henry’s shirt and holding two glasses of wine. So this is the reason Henry wanted a break from our relationship because of another woman . I was worried sick about him and he’s in the arms of another woman . I just walked out of the apartment without saying anything and he didn’t even care of going after me. I was so heartbroken.
